The New Jersey Schools Development Authority will be undertaking emergency repair work at four schools in Jersey City.

The projects, which are taking place at Ferris High School, the A. Harry Moore School, and Schools 25 and 30, will include roofing repairs at Ferris and School 25 and masonry work at A. Harry Moore School and School 30.

“Maintaining a quality educational infrastructure for the children of New Jersey is of the utmost importance to the Christie administration,” SDA CEO Marc Larkins said in a statement Friday. “This Administration continues to advance work at a steady pace to provide learning environments where the children can excel, both in Jersey City and throughout the state.”

Schools Superintendent Marcia V. Lyles said the repair help is needed and welcomed.

“Of course we are delighted to learn of the funding for these projects,” Lyles said. “Providing an environment for our children that is conducive to learning and growing is a priority for our community and the guiding premise of the SDA. We look forward to continued support and partnership to achieve this goal.”

Officials were unavailable Friday to comment on the cost of the projects or when they would be completed.

The SDA has invested more than $274 million in completed projects in Jersey City, including 16 capital improvements and 36 health and safety projects.
